Peer Review of Your Sandbox
Hi Jeanie, I have reviewed your sandbox draft for the section "Voice Masculinization" of the article "Voice Therapy (Transgender)"/"Transgender Voice Therapy". First of all, I would like to say that the organization of your section made it easy to read. I think subheadings are a good idea; these, along with the "Contents" box, will allow readers to skip to the parts of the article they are particularly interested in. You have inspired me to think about ways I can add subheadings to my own section. Second, your article seems well-cited, as every main idea has a citation. You seem to cite a lot from Adler, Hirsch, & Mordaunt (2012); are there many other references available for transgender voice therapy? Incorporating more sources, if possible, would provide a more balanced view of treatment. Third, your links to other relevant articles are useful for readers who would like to learn more about relevant topics. I would suggest adding a link to "fundamental frequency" in your first paragraph, as this jargon may not be familiar to all readers (however, I did take a look at said article, and it is lacking information on fundamental frequency of speech). Another recommendation I have is to use terminology consistently. Specifically, you refer to "patients" and "clients". I recommend changing all to "clients" to improve readability and as not to suggest that these individuals have a pathology. Lastly, I would suggest giving a brief overview of what is meant by "visualization" in the "Optimal Pitch" subsection (or linking to a relevant article), as this would increase understanding of the technique. Overall, I have learned quite a bit from your section, and I appreciate that you are bringing awareness to the profession of Speech-Language Pathology! Great job! --JaymieSLP (talk) 23:23, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
